WEBP is an image file format developed by Google that provides superior compression for web images, making them faster to load without losing quality. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, allowing for versatile use in various web applications. Introduced in 2010, WEBP aims to replace older formats like JPEG and PNG by offering smaller file sizes. This efficiency helps improve website performance and reduces bandwidth usage.
WEBP uses predictive coding to encode an image, which is the same method used by the VP8 video codec to compress video frames. It supports alpha transparency for lossy and lossless images, making it useful for graphics with transparent backgrounds. WEBP files typically have the .webp extension and can store metadata like EXIF or XMP. Its compression algorithms reduce the average file size by around 30% compared to JPEG, without compromising image quality.
WEBP files can contain both still images and animations, combining the features of formats like GIF and PNG into one. Many modern web browsers support WEBP natively, though some older browsers require plugins or fallbacks to other formats. The format's adoption has grown steadily as internet speed and mobile usage have increased, emphasizing the need for faster-loading images. Interestingly, WEBP uses techniques from the VP8 video codec to achieve its compression.
